A teacher asked her 5 grade class to talk to their parents about life events in their families that demonstrate a moral. For example, the early bird gets the worm. They would share the stories in class on Monday. Monday morning saw the class ready to begin and the teacher asked of anyone had any stories to share that had a moral to it. Little Johnny jumps to his feet waving both of his hands wildly. Little Johnny didn’t have a good reputation for sharing stories that were appropriate for a 5-grade class. So, the teacher tried her best to ignore Johnny. Little Mary put her hand up and the teacher called on her. She told a story of being sent out to collect eggs in the chicken coop. She brought with her a single basket. After collecting all the eggs available, she headed back to the show her mother how well she did. But she tripped on the way in, falling on the basket and breaking all the eggs. The teacher asked what the moral of the story was. Mary said, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. This is a very good example, thanks you for sharing Mary. Anyone else have a story?
Little Johnny again is going wild trying to get the teachers attention. The teacher tries to ignore him, but no one else raises their hand to volunteer a story. So the teacher has to relent and asked little Johnny what was his story. Johnny starts off that his Aunt Sue is a military fighter jet pilot. Little Johnny’s dad told him about one of Aunt Sue’s missions during recent conflicts. When Aunt Sue flew missions she always carried with her an automatic rifle with lots of ammo, a large knife and a bottle of whisky. She like to drink the whisky flying back after the mission to celebrate. On this particular mission Aunt Sue’s jet was hit by an enemy missile. She had to eject from the fighter. Coming down with her parachute she worried about her bottle of whisky. What if it breaks when she lands. So, she drank the whole bottle. As she got closer to the ground, she sees 50 enemy soldiers with their rifles pointed at her. So, she begins shooting the soldiers with her rifle. She kills 40 of them before she ran out of ammo. Landing on the ground Aunt Sue pulled out her knife and killed the remaining 10 enemy soldiers.
The teacher was aghast. What possible life moral could you possibly have from this terrible story?
Little Johnny smiled and said, don’t screw with Aunt Sue if she’s been drinking.
The teacher passed out
